A franchise QB who has won an MVP and is only 28 years old is just sitting there for the taking for the same price you’ll pay to draft someone that MIGHT have a 20% chance of being as good as Lamar. Make it make sense.

Teams don't want to give huge guaranteed money to a guy with injury concerns.

Jackson overplayed his hand, besides likely making a huge mistake by not hiring an agent.

Thank goodness.  Sorry, anyone trying to get in Deshaun Watson's contract neighborhood is smoking something.  The Browns fugged the QB market for the next several years by giving Pervy Rubdown such a insane contract.

Actually called out a Clemson fan on that just this afternoon.  He said "Can you believe the ridiculous money average QBs like Carr and Geno Smith are getting?"  I said you have to thank that Clemson alumni Deshaun Watson for that.  You should have seen his face, lol!

It's not the same price. You can't ignore the 50m annual salary.

yessir lol, this is blatant as hell.

Is it?  A decade ago for sure it would be, before the twitter verse.  

Today, every team without a QB or in need of an upgrade has likely been asked by dozens of sports reporters (in a matter of moments) if they intend to pursue Lamar.  Is it surprising that they are cool to the idea, knowing what we know when it comes to salary, picks and injury concerns?

Chances are Jackson is going to ultimately sign with the Ravens after further discussions.  That's the best course of action for both parties

With every franchise QB that signs an extension the deal given to the previous one looks even better. Lamar has proven time and time again he’s the type of player that elevates a roster. Over the past three years (so this doesn’t count the MVP season!) Ravens offense is sixth in EPA with Lamar 31st with anyone else. And his supporting cast there is one of the worst in the league. The cap will only keep going up, odds are overwhelmingly favoring the chance that in five years a bunch of teams (including us) will wish they had just given Lamar this money right now.

He actually just turned 26

I get what you're saying, but trading picks to move up in the draft doesn't require room under the salary cap. If he's only willing to sign a contract that guarantees 45m per season out of 50, there has to be room under the cap to actually sign it. After he's signed, it can be reworked. That's the snag. It's getting under that can be problematic. Add in the Ravens can match whatever he agrees to and he can't cut a team friendly deal to go elsewhere, because he'd be bound to it when the Ravens matched. It's why we had to make so much cap room to make the trade offer for Watson. We had to actually have the means to perform to execute the trade offer.

The Bat signal has been sent up!!

This is a coordinated market correction being implemented infront of all of us..

Lamar is about to be made a example…

But all it takes is 1 Hasslem to go against his boys and be willing to take the cold shoulder that will come from stepping out of line…

Lets see what happens…

Memo to the league and union, NFL is totally different from the NBA. More players, large sizes, and LOTS more injuries. 

It's a different contract world. 

Just cause Dumbass Tepper signed some rookie HC to a 7 year 62 million deal, doesnt mean it's the floor for ALL new HCs entering the NFL/HC. Browns went allllll-in on some watson bluff and with the help of agents, got him some insane 250 million guaranteed deal. That doest mean it's the floor for elite QBs, just like the Rhule contract. Browns&Tepper fuged up, doesnt mean the other teams need to follow.

 

 

 

 

Looking back and knowing the type of player baker is.......i do see why browns pushed alll-in....not to say its right, but i understand...

Teams don't want to give huge guaranteed money to anyone.

BTW, the "hand" is not over.

    • I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.
    • I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
    • You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
